Our range of services combined with our business philosophy focuses on providing our clients with tailored recruitment services, which closely reflect their culture and business aims. We aim to be seen as an extension of their organisation.
With clients our aim is to create a competitive advantage for them by the provision of quality candidates and through the positioning of their Company as a leading employer in their market place.
A full range of recruitment services including Database and/or Advertising Search and Selection Services, Premier Executive Search, Interim Management Recruitment, Recruitment Advertising and Response Management, Outsourced Recruitment Services (RPO) and Recruitment Campaigns.
Our Client portfolio includes some of the UK’s and world’s best companies for whom we have carried out challenging assignments ranging from contingency based solutions through to retained assignments including Executive Search.
This service is suitable for assignments of all levels. It is best used for assignments when the role can be well-defined, where a particular type of person is required and where advertising is likely to produce a positive response.
The service is offered on a contingency basis i.e. no placement, no fee or on a retained basis – which is the preferred approach as it eliminates problems often experienced when clients use a number of recruitment agencies for handling the same role.
Parts of the Database and Advertising Search and Selection Service can be provided on an optional basis, providing an opportunity to reduce timescales and costs. Our approach is practical and results-focused to ensure assignments are completed successfully.
Assignment Advertising
Where advertising is part of a search and selection assignment, advertisements may be open with company logos displayed or confidential. However, whichever route is taken, our advertisements will be eye-catching, well written and designed to promote the key attractions of your role.
We will advertise appointments in the most appropriate literature whether it be national, regional or local newspapers or professional and trade press publications.
The rpc Group have links with an advertising agency who are ready to conceive attention-seeking recruitment advertisements that will make your business stand out from your competitors.
Our service includes copy-writing, creative and design services, typesetting and production, media selection advice and costings.
This Premier service is aimed at where clients ask us to find a very senior and/or specialised executive, and where we know there is a finite pool of potential candidates. It is also aimed at assignments where absolute confidentiality and discretion are required. By definition every assignment is unique.
In such cases, advertising is generally not appropriate and Premier Executive Search is the most appropriate method.
This service is offered only for assignments whereby The rpc Group is exclusively retained.
We continually update our database and market sectors, companies and candidates so that we have an up-to-date picture of potential candidates and what their skills are.
Premier Executive Search may take longer than other services and cost a little more, however for senior or specialised roles and where confidentiality and discretion is required it is the most effective way to ensure success.
rpc interim specialises in the growing market of supplying Interim Managers and Consultants. We source Operations, HR / Personnel, IT, Sales / Business Development, Commercial and Finance Executives who have particular experience in the sectors in which the Group operates. These are candidates who wish to carry out or are willing to carry out adhoc, contract or interim roles.
These Executives and Managers are experienced professionals in their own fields of expertise who are driven by the opportunity to work on an interim / contract / project basis.
They have a proven track record in providing advice and assisting companies to meet their business objectives and short to medium term recruitment needs.
Working as an Interim / Contract Manager is becoming established as a profession in its own right and a growing number of high calibre managers are setting themselves up as an Interim / Contract Manager on a self employed basis or establishing their own limited company.
rpc interim candidates can be provided under two service options:
Interim Managers supplied by rpc interim can be employed on clients’ payrolls or arrangements may be made for them to invoice the client for their remuneration if this is required provided they are of self-employed status or incorporated as a limited company.
Candidates engaged on a Contract for Services are not placed on client’s payrolls. Instead rpc interim will invoice the client for charges including the contractors (candidates) costs.
rpc interim retains details of Interim Managers on its database as well as candidates who are between career moves and offering their services for short term employment / projects.
Where a client enquires as to the availability of candidates to perform a short term / interim assignment, the process is very similar to that used for a Database Search and Selection assignment:
This service is only available to existing rpc Group clients or in conjunction with a recruitment campaign for a new client.
Advertising is particularly effective where candidates are sought from a variety of different industries / sectors and where particular skills are required for the role. Advertising will be most effective in cases where there is a broad requirement.
Advertising options available are:
Advertisements may be open with client logos displayed or confidential. However whichever route is taken, rpc advertisements will be eye-catching, well written and designed to promote the key attractions of the role(s). rpc will advertise appointments in the most appropriate means whether it is national, regional or local.
